Are you chasing success but never feeling like you’ve “made it”? On today’s episode, Darren and Christina break down one of the most powerful mindset frameworks from Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s book The Gap and The Gain.
This concept is a game-changer for entrepreneurs, investors, and high achievers who constantly feel like they’re falling short—no matter how much progress they’ve actually made. Instead of measuring yourself against impossible ideals or competitors (the gap), what if you measured progress against where you started (the gain)?
